What is 52.3 percent of 320 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 320 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 320 is 100%, so we can write it down as 320=100%.
4. We know, that x is 52.3% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=52.3%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 320=100%
2) x=52.3%
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
320/x=100%/52.3%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 52.3% of 320

320/x=100/52.3
(320/x)*x=(100/52.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
320=1.9120458891013*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.9120458891013) to get x
320/1.9120458891013=x
167.36=x
x=167.36

now we have:
52.3% of 320=167.36
